Seasonal change

close up photo of orang bush lily flowers, some with the edges of their petals browning — Bush lilies

New season flowers,
bit rough around the edges—
sun-deprived humans.

Ignore

photo of a leafless tree on the sidewalk, as seen from across the street

Shoved to a corner,
out of our busy lifestyles,
old trees in our streets.

Canopy

photo of a country road with the sun behind a wave of clouds overhead

Reining in the clouds,
to scatter them overhead—
the sun brings us shade.

Rise up

photo of Lake Monger in Perth, with the sun just bout to rise on the horizon

Peaceful water’s edge,
creeping towards the morning—
winter sun blushes.

Muscle

Lifting weights all day,
tree veins popping at the strain;
heavy clouds gather.
